MLB Team Expansion in 25

[crowhop]

With real-life Expansion seemingly imminent, will Team Expansion be updated/modified in this version of the game?
Any chance something like this will be built in to create a realistic Expansion experience without all the added hassle?

I'd like to see a simple option that may say..... add 2 MLB teams, 1 in each league at the end of the league year. Let the game choose locations for team and/or you as a team owner could decide.
LOVE this game !

Already have this option. You can let the game do it on its own, by having the "Enable automatic evolution of the game" box checked, or do what I do and uncheck that, sim 5-7 years to build some history, then go into league settings and click on "expand league and schedule expansion draft,"

You can then set up the parameters of the expansion draft. Number of players protected, and players with so many years of service protected.

The game will pick cities for you, usually Charlotte, San Antonio, etc. I always add my own city. Almost always Montreal, bringing back the Expos, then somewhere else, Salt Lake City, Mexico City, etc.

I would love for a Change to be made in Historic Expansion Years to start those seasons two days before the expansion draft. I love drafting my own teams, but in Challenge mode starting up at season start with the original draftee's. To start the season before with a job, it is a Crap shoot whether the Expansion Team will be open. The only way of a Guarantee you get a Expansion team slot is to run a season unemployed, and that is such a waste of time.
